His skills also extend to hosting and moderating at national conferences, and he’s even starred in a nationwide OnStar commercial as Santa Claus and a regional commercial as a casino bartender.

Mike’s company, SamRose Entertainment, also produces a litany of comedy events, including the highly popular Traverse City Comedy Fest!
